A flush of the ConnectionPool will not help (JB4.x) because the application is not deployed afterwards. As this is a seldom problem we decide in this case to start the JBoss complete if the DB is up and running. If the problem happen during the application is running it will recover the ConnectionPool automaticaly. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/594869#594869] Start a new discussion in Datasource Configuration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

If the DB is not available the *-ds will not be deployed. The EJB2 persistence jar depend on the DS and is also not deployed. If the DB is available again --> NOTHING happen If I touch the *-ds.xml afterwards, the DS and the EJB.jar is started. I'm don't know whether there is an option to force that the DS check the DB-connection periodicaly :( -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/595303#595303] Start a new discussion in Datasource Configuration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]

To restart the application the dependency must be set correct. In my case the dependency is set because the jar file with the EJB2-CMP beans contains a dependency entry within the deployment descriptor. You must set such in your application, then the EAR/WAR will not deployed as long as the *-ds is not ready and in case of restart DS the application is also redeployed. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/595426#595426] Start a new discussion in Datasource Configuration at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
